(Kuantan, 10th) Visitors to Pantai Pelindung in Kuantan, who came to see the popular "Giant Sea Turtle Rock Mural," were startled to find a dead sea turtle nearby.
Mr. Lin, a 36-year-old local resident, shared that he arrived at the beach around noon. While walking along the shoreline toward the mural’s location, he unexpectedly came across the turtle’s remains.
"From afar, I thought it was a newly added small turtle painting on the beach. But as I got closer, I realized it was actually a sea turtle carcass," he explained.
This marked Mr. Lin’s second visit to Pantai Pelindung, and he did not expect to make such a grim discovery.
He described the turtle as medium-sized, roughly equivalent to two pillows. When he found it, the carcass was already decomposing and emitting a strong odor. Although no obvious wounds were visible, he noticed that the turtle’s right-side face was pressed against the ground, with one of its eyes missing.
Since it was a Sunday and the beach was bustling with visitors, other tourists also spotted the sea turtle’s remains.
